Surely there is no way to prevent vote manipulation if you allow votes from any instance to be counted. How does lemmy plan to get lots of vote information to help sort posts on small instances without being vulnerable to manipulation?

Wow, thank you for letting me know about MetaFilter. I never heard of it and it looks like an amazing place.
I’m aware of other websites, Reddit more so than others, I am trying to find a more privacy oriented community so I saw someone mention lemmy, which seems great. Voting just seems less of a privacy oriented content and is a potential for manipulated posts, like advertising.
One thing that I do enjoy about lemmy and reddit which seems to be absent in metafilter are groups/communities on a particular topic.
I think pay to use is a fantastic model to be mostly used in order to have stricter content posting and less nonsense gibberish, and they do seem to have a way for someone who can not afford to join as well.
May be there is a way to make voting work without being manipulated, I’m just not seeing how it can be yet.
